Linda Bean on Thursday defended her donations to President-elect Donald Trump and said the blacklisting campaign against the company founded by her grandfather is nothing more than "bullying."

"I think it is very much a case of bullying," the L.L. Bean heiress said on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" morning show.

"It is bullying me and bullying the companies I own and bullying the one I partly am on, the L.L. Bean company, since I owned when I was a child," Linda Bean said, stressing that she speaks for herself and is not representing the company.

Bean said the pressure is for her to resign from the board, something she told the hosts she will not do.

"I never back down. If I feel I'm right," Bean said.

L.L. Bean is one of nearly 80 companies — including Walmart, Welch's, Bloomingdales and Hobby Lobby — that the organization "Grab Your Wallet" has launched a boycott campaign against due to varying levels of support for Trump.

Bean said she donated $15,000 in August and $10,000 in October to Trump's Making Maine Great Again PAC. It was originally and incorrectly reported Bean contributed $60,000 to the PAC.

Her support earned a shoutout from Trump on Thursday:

Thank you to Linda Bean of L.L.Bean for your great support and courage. People will support you even more now. Buy L.L.Bean. @LBPerfectMaine

Bean said her cousin and an L.L. Bean executive donated to President Barack Obama's campaign four years but he didn't have to endure any backlash.

"Definitely a double standard," Linda Bean said. "Both these guys won. Obama won and Trump won. My cousin's candidate, my candidate but I'm the one being targeted and vilified, and asked to be taken off the board. They demanded, that is the demand I leave the board."
